This is to acquaint the curious that there is just arrived
in this city, a famous posture-maser, who transforms his
body into various postures, in a surprizing and wonderful
manner; with many curious dancings and tumblings, exceeding
any thing of the kind ever seen here. He also performs the
slight of hand, with great dexterity, and art; and to make
the entertainment more agreeable, the company will be
diverted with the musick of a dulcemer. To be shewn every
evening this week, at Mr. Beekman's, at the Spring-Garden:--
--Price for grown persons one shilling, and for children
ninepence.
N.B. Our time here will be but very short; and if any
gentlemen and ladies have a mind to see the performance in
the daytime, on an hours notice, and a suitable company
offers; it shall be exhibited by their very humble servannt,
[signed] Richard Brickell.
